French on Shifting Ground introduces readers to the lower Lafourche Basin, Louisiana, where the land, a language, and a way of life are at risk due to climate change, environmental disaster, and coastal erosion. Louisiana French is endangered all around the state, but in the lower Lafourche Basin the shift to English is accompanied by the equally rapid disappearance of the land on which its speakers live. The book outlines the development of French in the region, highlighting the features that make it unique in the world, and including the first published description of the way it is spoken by the American Indian population. It then weaves together evidence from multiple lines of linguistic research, years of extensive participant observation, and personal narratives from the residents themselves to illustrate the ways in which language–in this case French–is as fundamental to the creation of place as is the physical landscape. It is a story at once scholarly and personal: the loss of the land and the concomitant loss of the language have implications for the scientific community as well as for the people whose cultures–and identities–are literally at stake.

A sadok or salakot is a farmer’s cherished possession, protecting him from the sun or rain. The Sadok, persisting up to the present, has many uses. The study of Sadok making was pursued to highlight an important product, as a cultural tradition in the community as craft, art, and part of indigenous knowledge in central Antique in the Philippines. Despite that this valuable economic activity needs sustainability, it is given little importance if not neglected, and seems to be a dying economic activity. The qualitative study uses ethnophenomenological approaches to gather data using interviews and participant observation, which aims to describe the importance of Sadok making. It describes how the makers learned the language of Sadok making, especially terms related to materials and processes. The study revealed that the makers of Sadok learned the language from their ancestors. They have lived with them and interacted with them since they were young. Sadok making is a way of life and the people observe their parents work and assist in the work which allows them to learn Sadok making. They were exposed to this process through observations and hands-on activities or ‘on-the-job’ informal training. They were adept with the terms related to the materials and processes involved in the making of Sadok as they heard these terms from them. They learned the terms bamboo, rattan, tabun-ak (leaves used) and nito (those creeping vines) as materials used in Sadok making. The informants revealed that the processes involved in the making of Sadok are long and tedious, starting from the soaking, curing and drying of the bamboo, cleaning and cutting these bamboo into desired pieces, then with the intricacies in arranging the tabun-ak or the leaves, and the weaving part, until the leaves are arranged, up to the last phase of decorating the already made Sadok. In summary, socialization is one important factor in learning the language and a cultural practice such as Sadok making. It is an important aspect of indigenous knowledge that must be communicated to the young for it to become a sustainable economic activity, which could impact on the economy of the locality. Local government units should give attention to this indigenous livelihood. Studies that would help in the enhancement of the products can likewise be given emphasis.

HEALTH EDUCATION — THE NEED TO MAKE IT WORK It is increasingly apparent that the major health problems in the world today — ranging from malnutrition and communicable diseases; many forms of mental ill-health and cardiac conditions; accidents and alcoholism, are primarily attributable to unsatisfactory living conditions, lack of knowledge and harmful practices on the part of individuals, families and communities. Advances in the field of science and technology can do no more towards the promotion of the health of the population unless it is accompanied by fundamental changes in the way of life and behaviour patterns of the people themselves.

Life Behavior

Javanese society is identical with mysticism. Everything that Javanese people do cannot be separated from the physical and metaphysical worlds. The physical and metaphysical worlds are interrelated, as these would form harmony of life between living beings and God. The harmony built by the Javanese community is not only for the people, but also for the whole living things in the world. That is what the Javanese community call the bebrayan agung. One of the patterns carried out by Javanese people to lead a bebrayan agung is by practicing the culture of petung. This culture is not only a calculation of life behavior, but also as a dialectic between humans and fate and the universe. Many people perceive that petung culture is only a prophecy, but in fact, it teaches wisdom ​​as a way of life. This is due to that the culture of Petung or Petungan in Javanese society is closely related to birthdays, pasaran, and neptu. All of these have to do with birth, sustenance, matchmaking, illness, and death. In short, everything is strung together based on the standard calculations contained in the primbon and the Javanese calendar. In this regard, Petung culture is a mathematical civilization technology that uses calculations of numbers in the Javanese calendar.This study, therefore, is focused on exploring the culture of petung in Javanese society framed within the anthropological analysis.

Skin Care Products

The beauty clinic business and skin care products are currently in great demand by the people of Indonesia, especially women. Skin care is no longer a tertiary necessity but has become a way of life in modern times. This increasing trend is also due to the influence of influencers and celebrities from within the country and from abroad who share their lifestyle with the people in Indonesia, including the world of skin care. Through various e-commerce applications or commonly called online shopping, imported products are now no longer difficult to find in Indonesia. So it cannot be denied that the world of skin care is a growing and potential market in Indonesia. CV Blessindo Prioriti Abadi is one of the distributors of beauty products and skin care which is well known by beauty clinic clinics in Indonesia. In 2019, they launched a skin care product with their own brand called "FavorLT" which began to be sold independently through a website called skinny.id. This product requires a systematic and attractive visual identity design so that it can attract the interest of skin care product enthusiasts and compete with existing skin care products in the Indonesian market.

The world is entering a new era of existence, one in which people can no longer afford to focus solely on their human needs, desires, innovations, and experiences. The reverberations of the human footprint on the globe are being felt socially, politically, ethically, and ecologically and are threatening survival. The environments in which people live and work are constantly changing, requiring integrative nurses to elevate their level of consciousness to the broader systemic impacts of their contributions. Adopting a whole-systems lens grants integrative nurses as healers the ability to provide contextually reverent care for self, other, communities, the organizations they serve, and the planet as an overarching and complex system. Planetary health is the emerging domain of integrative nursing scholarship that requires immediate and wholehearted commitment to oneness, wellbeing, and social justice. Planetary health is at the core of an integrative way of life and living, for in the end, the planet—its life forms, its oceans and lands, and the caring-healing heart of humanity itself—is all that will sustain the people of the earth.

Introduction. The paper presents the results of a study of protest trends in modern university culture. Basing on the analysis of the value reasons for the emergence of protest behavior of students, the authors define the essence of cultural protest as a collective declaration and as an interpretation of personal freedom in the context of a conservative university culture. It also examines the specific motives of cultural protest. The authors have analyzed an array of scientific studies which offer definitions that determine not only the value connotation of such phenomenon as "cultural protest" but also the degree of its constructive and destructive influence on university culture. Research methodology and technique. The methodological basis of the study was a culturological approach, the priority of which is explained by the fact that the values and norms of culture, spiritual and moral traditions of humane education are oriented towards the human personality, and the axiological approach, which makes it possible to determine the composition and hierarchy of values that determine the content of the interaction of a person with the world and people, and to reveal the influence of values on personal development. Within the framework of these methodological foundations, the authors used the methods of theoretical (interdisciplinary analysis of philosophical, cultural, pedagogical, psychological and sociological literature) and empirical (participant observation, analytical interview, written questionnaire) research. Research results. The scientific research involved 250 students of the Orenburg State University. Applying empirical methods, the authors proceeded from the assumption that modern young people who are in the student period are at a special stage of their spiritual life which is associated with finding oneself in the world, becoming involved with it, developing their own worldview, defining identity and uniqueness. Here at this stage they are able to determine the individual way of life, to defend the value-semantic position, without which the realization of the act of life creation is impossible. Conclusion. The problem of cultural protest is relevant both in theoretical and practical terms, since the security of the culture of interaction in the institutionally united university community depends on the degree of its development.

Negative Phenomena

From ancient times, various games, arts, and entertainment were widespread among the people. Passing on the forms of arts and games from generation to generation, our people have basically preserved their continuity, their own style. Now every nation in the world has its own unique samples of culture and art, which were published due to various historical and social circumstances. But, it is very difficult when, despite various natural disasters, wars and other negative phenomena, for many centuries to maintain and increase, improve their national traditions, way of life, life, including folk games. The younger generation is handed over the most valuable in spiritual terms, life-long, in which importance increases from year to year. In the same way, unquenchable samples of our national culture and art in the field of physical culture and sports, if they continue to develop in educational institutions, we can assume that the task is to adequately continue the work of ancestors who absorbed the irrepressible power of physical qualities in their descendants combined with intellectual, with the help of massive national games - completed.

From the time of the proclamation of the First Crusade in 1095 to at least the first decade of the twelfth century, there was an apparently universal understanding amongst the people of Christendom that those who joined the pilgrimage-in-arms that set out to liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Land should be regarded as imitators of Christ. This was remarkable, for the imitation of Christ was understood by contemporaries to be the paramount ideal of spiritual perfection and, before 1095, only attainable by a total withdrawal from the world and a commitment to a monastic way of life. Yet with Pope Urban II’s Clermont sermon, the spirituality that was previously the preserve of those milites Christi who fought spiritual battles in the cloister was now also available to those who fought for Christ in the world. As the biographer of one prominent first crusader famously put it, before the proclamation of the crusade, his subject was ‘uncertain whether to follow in the footsteps of the Gospel or the world. But after the call to arms in the service of Christ, the twofold reason for fighting inflamed him beyond belief.’
